Only those of Bernard and Berlioz were replaced after the war. Bronzes of Bichat, Clemenceau, Pinel and the Barons Larrey (Domi...

Microorganisms play critical roles in every kind of habitat on Earth, including those constructed by humans. Thus, our cultural heritage is affected by microbial colonization. While classical microbiological methods based on culturing procedures have provided important, but limited information on the microbial diversity of natural samples, novel molecular techniques have been extremely valuable...

1 For such competition in the middle Republic, see, in general, Hölkeskamp 2003, 221–26; 2004, 151–57. Specific cases: McDonnell 2006, 212–28; Hölscher 1980, 353.

In this paper we present an approach to optimize the workflow for a graphic artist currently working on high resolution photographs of architectural and archaeological monuments. These photographs are used as texture maps to color the meshes, which are calculated from laser-scanned point clouds corresponding to exactly those monuments. Because a particular region belonging to a monument is cove...
